need vpn

hey guys, im looking to get a rackmountable network device capable of at least 5 simulataneous vpn connections (from windows machines over the internet). a built in firewall would be nice, if the device was a router also that would be fine.

im just not sure what things to look for, i know i want to connect from computers to the device, and not endpoint to endpoint. so i need ipsec and pptp right?

can anyone straiten this out for me?
